John was born on the home quarter at Kuroki, Sask to Herman and Augusta Schultz and raised on the farm.  John married Irene Schwanke on June 6, 1954 and together they worked on the farm and raised four children.

Before getting married, John worked in the bush driving horses and skidding logs during the winter at Usherville (near Hudson Bay).   After John and Irene were married, the worked hand-in-hand building their farm life and raising a family. During those busy years, he also served many years as a councillor for the RM of Sasman and on the Wheat Board Committee. In 1985, John and Irene began to build a new house in Wadena, wherethey semi-retired as John continued to help on the farm up until just a few years ago.

John was a soft-spoken, kind-hearted and loving person.  His sense of humor, generosity and strong faith brought joy to everyone around him and his life was full and complete.
